Reviews - Collingwood College

Whether you are planning a week stay or a short break, Collingwood College, one of Durham University's colleges, is the ideal base for your visit to the North East. The accommodation is value for money, with rooms available to suit all budgets. Collingwood is located one mile from the centre of Durham. All rooms are situated within the college and offer a peaceful setting.

There is a variety of accommodation, with over 200 en-suite rooms available, each with a private shower, toilet and hand basin, built-in wardrobe and tea/coffee making facilities and radio alarm clocks. Sixteen of these en-suite rooms are twin occupancy and a further nine are adapted for wheelchair users.

For guests requiring easy access ground floor rooms in en-suite rooms are available on request.

All rooms have bed linen (duvets) and towels provided in all rooms throughout your stay, with the rooms are serviced daily.

Accommodation is available during University vacations, which are around Easter and throughout July, August and September.

Collingwood College does not accept guests under 16 years of age unless they stay in the same room as a responsible adult.

Bargain accommodation
Having lived in university halls myself, I had pretty low expectations for Collingwood College but I was pleasantly surprised at the room and facilities. I certainly wasn't expecting a complimentary bag of toiletries or a full selection of hot drinks and a pack of biscuits! This is a great way of staying in a popular city at a bargain price. If you're used to luxury, it's not for you, but if you're happy with a comfy bed in a basic but clean room, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. Next time I want to go to a university city in holiday time, I will certainly look for uni halls again.

Collingwood College
I stayed at the college during Easter holidays and thought the accommodation was excellent; the porters were very helpful, the room was clean, quiet and comfortable and the location was lovely. My only complaint would be that the room was a bit too light at night due to the bright lighting outside - thicker curtains could have fixed this.

Great base for the Great North Run
The facilities were first class and exactly as advertised. The room was an en-suite student accomodation and was more than adequate. It was clean and tidy and as described and the staff on site were most helpful. The price was quite steep but it was the Great North Run so prices everywhere are expensive the night before the run!

Overall I would say collingwood college is decent value for money at the end I'ts not the hilton but you getWhat you pay for . So if your looking for somewere to get your head down for the night then I would advise anybody stay but if you want somewere with a bit more luxury then I wudnt advise you book a room at collingwood but luxury comes at a price so will say again you get what you pay for , the only thing I would say the corridors and place looks a bit worn out so a lick of paint doesn't cost much and think that would make a difference
